It’s a veritable arm party over here. Our BFF Tatiana F. of
the blog Fashion Forward has
created a cinchy so-cool friendship bracelet tutorial for all you crafty cuties
out there. Instantly channel summer’s festival trend by stacking these with
your other string bracelets and gold bangles. Make a pile, and then divvy them
up among your crew!

What you’ll need:

Scissors

Embroidery needle

Embroidery floss in bright colors

Linked chains about 4” long (can be found at craft
stores—use pliers to separate the links if necessary)

What you’ll do:

Step 1: Gather six strands of embroidery floss (each should
be about 12 inches long) and knot the ends together on one side. Begin to braid
about 3 inches of the length and knot all the strings at the end of the braid,
leaving a long tail.

Step 2: Divide the strands into two sections, so three
strands are in each, then thread the first section through the embroidery
needle and begin weaving through two lengths of chain, whipstitching in one
direction. The embroidery floss should connect both lengths of chain.

Step 3: Once you have woven the floss in one direction as
shown in the images above, take the other section of floss and begin to weave
in the opposite direction creating criss-crosses.

Step 4: After having completed the criss-cross design
between the two chains, knot the end and braid the rest of the tail like the
first step. Voilà! You’ve
not got a beautiful and colorful bracelet that’ll rock your wrist this summer.

What does music mean to you?

Memories! A song can totally take me back to a specific moment in time.Hard work. I'm in the band at school, so I have to keep my skills sharp. Chilling. I pop my headphones in and all my stress melts away. Getting pumped. The right music really gets me ready for a big game.
